(1) Do NOT install both the dump1090-fa and Readsb. Install only one of them. Installing both will cause conflict and breakdown.
(2) The readsb has some error which causes its failure during installation. @wiedehopf will hopefully look into this and fix it. Only after the readsb’s bug is fixed, and you want it, you should install it.
(3) Your install has been so much damaged due to upgrades and installing / uninstalling various decoders, it is better you again write the microSD card with latest image, then first upgrade it, and only after upgrade install software on it. In the fresh image, take care NOT to install multiple decoders. You have to install only one of the following
sudo apt-get purge lighttpd
## above command will purge BOTH the lighttpd and dump1090-fa
## it will also remove lot of dependency packages.
## say Yes when asked permission.
## IMPORTANT: After purging lighttpd, issue following command to
## remove it's left-over defective config folder
sudo rm -rf /etc/lighttpd
But errors is present => dump1090 - OK, web pages - FAIL ,
so I take microSD and “The same thing over and over”

Seems lighttpd does not like the Kali upgraded by sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo dist-upgrade commands.
Better write Kali2020.4.img again and dont upgrade it this time. Still better, dont write Kali, write Raspbian image from Operating system images – Raspberry Pi, and have a smooth install of all feeders.
Also … kinda sad kali ships a broken lighttpd configuration or whatever that issue is.
tar1090 provides a configuration file for nginx that needs to be included by the user in the relevant config file.
But if lighttpd is broken … maybe nginx works.
Graphs1090 also has something to include in the nginx config, see the respective readme.

Which OS image you have written to your microSD card?
I have written the one in the red rectangle in screenshot below. It will download an image named “kali-linux-2020.4-rpi4-nexmon.img”.
As it is the latest image which I have downloaded only yesterday, I did NOT issue any upgrade commands.
This image did NOT give me any issues of lighttpd and dump1090-fa map. All feeders (Piaware, Planefinder, FR24, RB24) installed and working OK.
Yes, I downloaded this image too, but one week ago.
But I first - I instal AnyDesk for remote connect to GUI Kali Linux.
Then try to install feeders Piaware, Planefinder, FR24 …
After that write a post here …
Ok, I already config my Pi4 with AnyDesk + dump1090-fa \ graph + Piaware, Planefinder, FR24, and doing image backup now.
So, I will try again to do download Kali Linux image & then to do clean instal (without AnyDesk).
It is very convenient to try different setups if one has one or two spare microSD cards. A 16 or 32 GB microSD card is not very costly now a days.
I dont make a backup to try another install. I always use a spare microSD card for experimenting. For Kali experiment, I wrote the Kali image to a spare 16 GB microSD card, slipped out my in-service Raspbain card from RPi, and slipped in the Kali microSD card. When my experiment will be over, I will slip out Kali microSD card and slip in the Raspbian microSD card.
If you brows the thread linked below, you will realize that to save config, you dont need to save the image itself. You only need to save config in a text file, and when needed, can recreate a clone by writing a fresh image and transfer config by copy-pasting from the backup text file.
That said, sure creating a backup image makes it very easy to recreate a microSD card, and is very reassuring as well.
